API Virtualization and creating Mock API responses using ACCELQ
ACCELQ's API virtualization allows you to set up Service simulation by responding to API calls with mock responses. Example use cases below:
To test your application UI when some of the backend API services are still under development
Application-under-test needs to communicate with an external API that is not accessible during the test execution
When you deliberately want to prevent your testing from hitting the API services for cost or other resource considerations.
Virtualization is achieved by passing the API calls through a server that is equipped with a ruleset for intercepting requests and mocking responses. If there is a matching rule for the given API call, a mock response is returned by the Virtualization server. If not, the API call is passed through in the original route for the normal response.
